TECU® Bond Product Information Application and Processing 1. Introduction A new approach in façade cladding: TECU® Bond is an economical, flexible and durable solution for numerous building applications. Its simple processing goes hand in hand with high durability and a high-quality surface. Large and smaller area façades can now be implemented even more efficiently and economically in copper. TECU® Bond opens completely new design possibilities. KME presents a composite material with the usual highquality TECU® surfaces. Planners and designers now have a material on hand for high-quality...

Fire behaviour 2. Material The composition of the TECU® Bond panel is simple and efficient: Two sheets of copper or copper alloys are joined to both sides of the core in a matured manufacturing process that optimally protects the material and guarantees high durability. The result is an ideal facade material that is easy to process for a multitude of different purposes, and is absolutely easy to install. Unless otherwise confirmed, the visible side is delivered with a protective film that effectively protects the material from contamination during the machining and construction phases TECU®...

6. Expansion Behaviour TECU® Bond is suitable for use in a temperature range from -50 to +80°C. The linear expansion coefficient is 1.7 mm / m AT 100K. 7. Production Tolerances TECU® Bond panels are manufactured with the following tolerances: for Panels with 4.0x1000x3000mm Thickness : 0 / + 0.2 mm Width : 0 / + 2.5 mm Length: 0 / + 20 mm Deviation of the diagonals: ± 3 mm 8.

11. Extremely Easy Processing TECU® Bond can be processed using conventional techniques: sawing, drilling, milling, stamping, bending (mechanical or manual). Installation also takes place in traditional manners by screws, rivets and glue. The processing of TECU® Bond can be done in the workshop or at the construction site, which means considerable potential savings in freight and packaging costs. Fig. Packaging for storage and transport 12. Protective Film The film offers protection to the panel‘s visible surface during processing and installation. As usual for film-protected copper...

BEFORE APPLICATION Necessary preventative measures All packages are enclosed with multilingual instructions for storage, use and processing. If these instructions are not included, they are to be requested from KME Germany GmbH & Co. KG. All occupational safety requirements and any special safety rules for the operation of machinery and tools must be adhered to when processing TECU® Bond. Handling the TECU® Bond Panels It is recommended to wear suitable protective gloves. Despite the relatively high stability of TECU® Bond, safeguards must be taken via sufficient requirements against...

MACHINES AND TOOLS 1. MASHINES Hand-held milling machine Benchtop milling machine CNC Punch Drill / Riveter Punching / Notching Cutting of small throughputs Additional cuts The machines suitable for the different processing methods of TECU® Bond to meet specific criteria and requirements are listed in the following table: All chip-producing machines must be equipped with a suction device! A Panel Saw Achieves sufficient precision cutting to be suitable for work in large scale production. Some models can be equipped with a milling device. KME Germany GmbH & Co. KG – TECU® Bond - Product...

B Hand-held Circular Saw Particularly efficient in construction, easy to use. The use of special blades, suitable for processing of nonferrous metals, with hollow ground teeth and a negative rake angle ensures clean, accurate cuts. Saw blades are made of high speed steel (HSS) or carbide cutting disks (HM). C Jig Saw Particularly suitable for smaller incisions, allowing the cutting of complex shapes and openings. It is recommended to make samples before beginning a series to verify the final quality. This allows one or another parameter to be varied in order to achieve better results....

F Benchtop milling machine Because of its portability, it is well suited for use on the site for reprocessing or smaller works. Portable machines allow the cutting of grooves in the larger plates or milling on the edge (folded over edge, raised edge). The use of a guide rail or a stencil improves the accuracy and allows the repeatability of the process G CNC Punch For TECU® Bond machining is mainly used for producing special punched holes, especially when exact repetitions are required, such as single punched holes, ornaments with larger hole-spacing or apertures and notches in previously...
